The Siemens 6GT2810-2AB00 is a SIMATIC RF630L SmartLabel — a paper-based UHF RFID tag designed for the RF600 system. It operates across 860 to 960 MHz, covering global UHF bands, and is built around the IMPINJ MONZA 2 transponder chip. The tag carries a 96-bit EPC memory plus 12 bytes of user-accessible memory on an EEPROM, and supports lock, unlock, kill, write protection, and password protection for data security. Read range reaches up to 8 m, though the actual range depends on the reader and environmental conditions — the system manual (RF600) notes overrange is possible. The tag is multitag-capable, meaning multiple tags can be read in the field simultaneously, which is the baseline expectation for UHF RFID in logistics and asset tracking.
Physical and environmental constraints
The tag is a paper label, 101 mm wide by 152 mm deep (4" x 6" format), with a thickness of 0.3 mm. It's designed for one-side adhesive application onto paper or cardboard, and printing is done via thermal transfer process. The IP60 rating means it's protected against dust ingress but not moisture — in glued condition, the label must be protected against humidity. Operating temperature during read/write access is -40 to +65 °C; outside the read/write area, the tag can survive -40 to +80 °C. Storage conditions are tighter: 15 to 25 °C, with a maximum storage life of 2 years at 40 to 60% humidity. The tag can handle up to 80 °C for 200 cycles, which covers brief thermal excursions in logistics or manufacturing. Torsion and bending stress are conditionally permissible — the paper substrate is not mechanically robust, so the tag should be handled and applied with care. No backup battery is present; it's a passive tag powered entirely by the reader's RF field.
